Pregnancy - the disturbing and difficult period in the woman's life. The organism of mother reconstructs under requirements of the fruit, load of cardiovascular and urinogenital systems increases. Considerably the figure changes. To support health at the necessary level and to emphasize the rounded tummy special linen will help.
As sebaceous glands and the blood system during pregnancy work more intensively, sweating and risk of skin rashes increases. Therefore linen for pregnant women has to be made for 60-80% from the natural breathing materials: for example, cotton. The material made on high technologies - microfiber is popular (from English microfibre - microfibre).
First of all the pregnant woman should pay attention to support of the breast and stomach. Mammary glands increase in the size, nipples become more sensitive. Leather and hypodermic fabrics stretch.
Together with the growing stomach the breast strengthens load of the backbone. In order to avoid extensions and problems with the musculoskeletal system, it is recommended to wear the special elastic bra without stones, with wide straps and seamless structure.
Bras with the coming unfastened pockets for the subsequent feeding are available many shops.
For expectation of the child it is necessary to forget about shorts with the underestimated waist and thongs. Shorts for pregnant women are made of natural fabrics and have the special cut at which the front part is a little higher than back. In cold weather it is possible to defend the vulnerable urinogenital system of the pregnant woman by means of drawers with the soft elastic band. The bandage belt will help to provide support to the stomach. According to researches of obstetricians-gynecologists, carrying the bandage reduces risk of omission or the prolapse of the uterus after the delivery and also is excellent prevention of premature births and abortions. At the normal course of pregnancy the bandage is appointed about 23 weeks. However if childbirth not the first or exists certain problems with health, the doctor can appoint carrying the bandage and earlier. It is necessary to select the bandage size individually. The belt has to fit softly the stomach from below and support him, but not squeeze at all. It is recommended to put on the bandage in the back-lying position.
It isn't necessary to put on the bandage the naked body. Buy cotton shorts with the short waist or put on the belt over the shirt/shirt.
Besides load of the backbone, during pregnancy the influence on veins of the lower extremities amplifies. Legs can swell up and hurt, vascular asterisks and heavy feeling in legs appear. For prevention of varicosity the pregnant women are recommended to wear compression stockings or panty hoses. Special material of stockings provides the light warming effect and promotes the maximum pressure upon gastrocnemius muscles that allows to keep them in the tone, improves the blood-groove and prevents stagnant processes in vessels. Depending on indications the stockings and panty hoses for pregnant women have four degrees of the compression. The first two make preventive impact - easy compression. At the third and fourth degree the graduated (uneven) pressure is used: strengthening-decrease-strengthening diversely. Some phlebologists recommend to women to give birth in compression stockings. As veins during attempts are strained, stockings will help to lower loading, to prevent stretching and the rupture of walls of vessels and also to avoid spasms and numbness of the lower extremities.
